Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Attended training courses of the 4 departments within RMS. Spoke to recent graduates, managers, directors and partners on 1 to 1 calls to informally chat to them about their work and get to know PWC and RMS.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Lots of information very quickly but the sessions were very informative and there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions. We heard from lots of people in different levels of seniority which was informative. Was not given much advice on how to progress to the internship however.
